  1. when you love sin like that youre a sinner. He that committeth sin is of the devil. Jesus said why call ye me Lord Lord and do not those things which i say. Jesus also said. Not everyone who says Lord Lord shall enter in. I mean what do you do with the words of Jesus. Was the words of Jesus true? Course they were. Did Jesus mean what he said? Yes He did. Jesus said (IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS) Do you keep them if not then does that mean you dont love him. According to Jesus thats what it means. So if you dont love him who do you love? You are the servant to who you obey. People dont try to take up for Ricks sin. A person who really loves him will tell him the truth. I wouldnt give you a dime for a preacher or pastor who wouldnt tell you the truth. I dont want people lying to me or deceiving me do you? No Rick is not a false convert He's just not a Christian. Jesus said if you die in your sin's where i am ye cannot come. There are people who have walked away from Christ that was a born again Christian. Sounds like thats what Rick did. Hopely Rick repented and made things right with God and really start living the Gospel. The bible says to be ye doers of the word not hearers only (Deceiving your own self. People dont make someone think they are ok living in sin and that they are going to Heaven that way. Thats a lie if you do that. And you are deceiving them. Its a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God. To many scriptures to show anyone you cant living for God and the devil to. You have to choose. If i could make people believe you can live anyway you want long as you turn your life to Christ i could turn the whole world on to Jesus But ha real sinners know you cant be a Christian and live like they do. You would have to be spiritually blind to live like that. Im not being critical toward Rick but im telling you that He cant live like the devil and say he's a Christian. Thats contrary to the word of God. We are to line our life up to Gods word not mans word. One day youre going to stand before God and give an answer you better be right before you do if youre not you know where you are headed. That my friend is truth.

  2. What do you think God would have said to Rick that day before talking to Ray if Rick would have had to face God that day with sin in His life? i bet no one wants to answer that. Wonder why if people think Ricks ok living in sin?

  3. God is real. Accept Jesus today! Don’t get caught up in all the parables and the parts of the Bible that you don’t understand right now. Just know we are sinners who need a savior (Jesus) and that’s the objective of the gospel. It’s a process. You won’t be transformed overnight but with constantly seeking Him through His word (Bible) and prayer, you heart will be changed.

  4. Ray, I am a born again Christian TODAY because you confront false converts in love. I was a false convert! I didn't even know the gospel! Brought me to my knees in godly repentance and the Lord saved me. Anyone who gets mad, check your heart, because humble sheep will appreciate that someone loved them enough to show them their deception! I am eternally grateful the Lord used living waters/Ray comfort to confront false converts. Thank you and Praise God!

  5. I honestly would love to have a conversation with this guy. I feel like it would be really interesting to get some insight on why people are religions like this. If anybody here is religious and want to have a conversation I would be very grateful. (I believe in a higher power but not necessarily an omnipresent God, but I was raised Jewish so I don't believe in Jesus being the son of God)

  6. So we only get one life and afterwards we either spend all of eternity in hell or heaven? If you are lucky enough to die as a baby I guess you automatically get your tick punched into heaven not because you were good but because you got lucky. God loves you but dont make one mistake or god will torture you for it for all eternity. Meanwhile god lets satan have free reign over the earth for some reason, god is all powerful but doesn't have the power to eliminate satan. LOL. So funny that people believe in this bullcrap.

  7. There is so much false teachings now in self help courses, new age groups, and also in churches too.
    They teach self, self love,
    self absortion,
    self help,
    Self pleasure,
    boundaries to extreme,
    think of self,
    Put self first,
    Only help if you will be helped in return,
    All therapy focuses on self.

    Don't put yourself in somebody else's shoes,
    Don't show mercy,
    Don't forgive,
    Don't be long suffering,
    Have contempt
    How to manipulate and influence friends
    Never admit fault
    Never say sorry
    Say things you don't mean if it benefits you
    Say platitudes for the sake of social skills and appearances
    Be offended

    Matthew 24:12
    And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

    Matthew 24:10
    And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another

    James 1:5
    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

  8. He makes me whole, He enlightens my heart, time disappears when I am alone with Him, everything else disappears when I am alone with Him. He silences all other voices when He speaks to me. My life is flourishing because of Him, He has given me a new heart a new life. He purifies my soul, my thoughts, my heart and life. Without Him, I am lost. I was the sheep that had gone wild, but He found me. He is the light I walk in, He is the eternal source. He knew me before I was born, He loved me before I was born. Yes He sees my thoughts and motives, yes He sees every step I take. His love surpasses all understanding, and NOTHING can be compared to Him, He is the only one who can save our soul, and He loved me before I loved Him …… His name is Jesus Christ ❤️

  9. My beloved brothers and sisters, the Lord is impressing upon me, with great urgency, to remind you that He requires holiness from ALL his children. We must be HOLY. We must be set apart from the world. We must remove all appearances of worldliness and evil from our lives. No man will see Him if he is not holy. You must be holy and righteous in thought, word, and deed. The Lord said too many Christians are perishing because they are refuse to let go of worldly things and be set apart; they refuse to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth. The time is now. We must repent and transform our lives today! We must leave the world behind. We must be holy. (1 Peter 1;15-16; Leviticus 11:44; Hebrews 12:14; Revelations 2:11)

    7 Pillars of Holiness:

    1. Faith
    2. Abstinence
    3. Simplicity, contentment, naturalness and humility
    4. Innocence
    5. Modesty( particularly in outward appearance – tight, revealing clothes that inspire lust do not honor God. Men and women. Remove such clothes from your life)
    6. Discipline
    7. Charity & Love

    With love,
    Your Brother

  10. I think someone lukewarm is someone that needs spiritual guidance, they need someone who will guide them into spiritual success and give them the knowledge they need to keep growing and developing in their faith. Its harder to turn a lukewarm person hot then it is to turn a cold person hot. Because a lukewarm person knows deep inside what they need to do but there is a lot of complacency there.

  11. Believing in Christ is not all it takes to make it to heaven. To believe is to take action in what is Gods laid out command. Anyone can believe in something or that they are something. But it takes action to be or become what that thing may be. To be saved is so much more the believing, recieving God as your peraonal saviour and so on and so forth.
    Acts 2:38
    38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
    John 3:5
    [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

  12. I preach the gospel and I am handing out many leaflets, then I went into a supermarket and started to preach and the Holy Spirit joined in and the atmosphere changed and everyone was calling out to God. So wonderful.

  13. “Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

    Just because a believer needs rebuke or exhortation, does not mean they are damned. Why must we terrorize newborn believers without reminding them of grace when their heart is clearly contrite?

  14. Just wonderful. No, it never gets old, I'm thrilled everytime I hear it.
    We had a tough time in the park these last 2 Saturdays, so this helped my blah feeling.
    Even on a bad day, we have out 50+ tracts. So grateful to you. So grateful to The Lord

  15. John 3:5

    Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

    Acts 2:38

    Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

  16. Doing this because it has worked in the past for me.
    Brothers and Sisters please pray for me.

    For the past few weeks I had been ill and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Today I met another Doctor who thinks I basically don't have thyroid problems but my symptoms are tied to stress. He spoke a lot about my mind and stuff.

    I have also been having bad insomnia.

    I personally don't think I have issues so big that the result has to be insomina.
    So here I am requesting for prayers for God's peace in my life.
    If you come across this, please say a prayer. I believe in the power of community prayer. It has helped me before and I know it will help me again.

    God bless you all

  17. I am a former muslim. God saved me. I started asking the same questions as in your interviews to some of my close family members and agnostic colleagues. It's miraculous what love and understanding can bring in your life. Now I'm a Christian and also some of my friends and siblings have accepted Christ.

    God bless you Living Waters team. You're doing great!

  18. I just want to say that praying is when you step in closer to God and you are closer to him in communicating through prayer. Now Ray I know its going to sounds like I’m nitpicking but that’s not what I’m trying to do. I know you use a lot of everyday examples to explain something about the Bible but I would like to explain myself through the same way. If you go in to a courtroom and you have your hat on and you leave it on the judge can hold you in contempt court. Because that disrespectful to him and it’s not allowed. Another example if you go to places with dress codes hats are not allowed. So what I’m trying to point out is if your got to pray to your savior and especially for someone you have to pray with the same respect in mind you have for a earthly judge. Or what a courtroom judge will hold you to. Excuse the typos or the grammar error I can’t focus my full attention on the comment. I’m trying to work and type at the same time.
